"We are ecstatic to have Chris Tucker perform his hilarious stand-up act at SugarHouse," said Wendy Hamilton, general manager of SugarHouse Casino. "What better way to kick off 2018 than with the comedy legend?"

No stranger to the stage, Tucker became a fan favorite performing stand-up on the HBO TV series "Def Comedy Jam" in the 1990s.

In addition to his comedy performances, Tucker has appeared in major film releases, including the Oscar-nominated film "Silver Linings Playbook" with Robert De Niro, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.
